Chapter 406: You Look More Handsome (1) (1/2)

Chu Lian looked up at the man embracing her. Although the lighting was dim, she could see his features clearly.

He Sanlang didn’t look as handsome as his usual self. Right now, he looked more like a normal man worried about his wife.

His face had an unhealthy pallor to it and he was starting to look like a panda. Even stubble had started growing on his chin. However, he didn’t look disheveled or unkempt. Instead, those marks of fatigue gave him the charisma of a mature man.

She had to mention it again; He Sanlang’s looks were really top-notch. Although his brilliant and heroic features weren’t as popular as Xiao Bojian’s in this era, He Changdi was the better-looking out of the two in Chu Lian’s heart.

As Chu Lian looked up at him with her wide eyes, the back of He Sanlang’s ears were slowly turning red and his expression was becoming a little stiff.

His icy tone resounded in the small space as he spoke, a hint of awkwardness present in his voice, “What are you looking at?”

Chu Lian replied without thinking, “Looking at you.”

He Changdi hadn’t expected such a frank statement from her. A blush immediately spread down his neck in reaction.

He turned his face away stiffly as his eyes darted to and fro until they finally landed on the roof of the pen.

When Chu Lian glanced at him and noticed that his entire neck was now red, she stared in stunned surprise. He… He Changdi was actually embarrassed… Had he always been so sensitive?

He Sanlang resisted the urge to squirm under Chu Lian’s probing gaze and reacted by covering up her inquisitive eyes with his hand. His voice was slightly husky as he said, “Stop looking, there’s nothing to see here. Go to sleep!”

Considering what she had woken up to, Chu Lian didn’t dare to actually fall asleep again!

Who knew what her lunatic husband was going to do if she fell asleep this time…

Even though Chu Lian hadn’t brought up the topic, it didn’t mean that she had really forgotten about what had just happened. She just felt that it was too awkward and she wasn’t brave enough to mention it. One side of her chest was still throbbing a little in pain!

That damned He Sanlang!

She tried her best to hold back her question, but she ended up asking anyway. “Are you going to be here as well? I’m fine now.”

The hint in her words was that she was already perfectly well and he should move along with his own business. His presence would be disturbing her rest.

He Changdi still had some smarts left in that head of his. He instantly understood the meaning behind Chu Lian’s words. His expression turned slightly stormy; any husband who had just been disdained by his wife would probably react the same.

“There aren’t enough warm pens and we have too many people in our party. Some of the other pens are packed with up to five people.”

Chu Lian bit her lip. She had no choice here, He Changdi had actually managed to corner her with his words.

He had a point. If she really threw him out at this time, wouldn’t his brothers laugh at him?
